ANALYSIS:
Per this website's calculations, Saint Louis is somewhere between an average to slightly above-average D1 ball-club. Haslametrics has them ranked 114th overall (out of 353) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 23-13. They are also ranked by this site as the #4 team (out of 14) in the A-10 (average ranking 158.5).

The primary strength for Saint Louis is defense. The team is ranked 72nd in efficiency, allowing fewer than 98 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Saint Louis does a super job to deny opponents offensive rebounds and second chances. They have a rating of 11.27 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked 25th in the country), and they allow AO to convert just 4.7% of their second-chance opportunities (ranked 42nd) as well. Saint Louis has also been able to successfully prevent opponents from making shots between the three-point stripe and the low post. They're ranked 26th in Division I in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 31.7% of their attempts from that distance.

The offense for Saint Louis, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the defense is. The team is ranked 195th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 102 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Saint Louis has had serious struggles making their free throws this year. Converting just 60.3% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #352 overall in free throw percentage. Saint Louis also won't enter the conversation if you're looking to list the best three-point shooting teams in the country. They are ranked 325th in three-point field goal percentage nationally and make just 31.3% of their attempts from long vs. AO. If Saint Louis does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's knack for obtaining second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad has a rating of 19.99 in potential points off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks fourth in all of college hoops.

Saint Louis has been playing better basketball in their most recent outings, as evidenced by the team's #33 ranking in positive momentum. Saint Louis is also one of the more consistent teams in Division I (presently ranked 34th in consistency), so forecasting the outcomes of their future contests tends to be easier than the norm.
